My review of Repulse is up at www.gamingclimax.com .

The more Resident Evil moves into the action genre, the less interested I am.  They showed true potential with the Lost in Nightmares DLC for RE5.  I'm still hoping that they'll move back to their roots.

If you’ve read any of my reviews, you’ll have noticed that I don’t use a numerical rating system like many other gaming sites.  You may be asking yourself why that is.  The biggest names in gaming all use a numerical rating.  Most will break a review down into the individual aspects, graphics, sounds, control, etc.  Each of these categories will get an individual score, usually from 1 to 10.  These scores will be averaged together at the end of the review, thus giving the game its final score.  It’s a bland, unoriginal rating system that is far too popular. I believe that a game can’t be confined to a numerical value.  Playing a game is a unique experience that ends up being something different for everyone.  A review should be a recollection of that experience.  It should be fair and unbiased of course, but in the end, a game isn’t a number.  A game is a work of art and should be treated as such. Once a reviewer strips away what is special about that game and puts it in the for

Rusty Hearts is a free-to-play MMORPG developed by Stairway Games and published by Perfect World Entertainment.  The game had entered a closed beta on July 27, 2011 and was finally launched on September 13, 2011.  Rusty Hearts is a very story driven game that follows four characters in their quest to vanquish Count Vlad.  It has a very unique style and promises an equally unique experience.  Will this newcomer to an already overcrowded genre truly bring something special to the table or will it fall by the wayside like so many others?

I've posted new wallpapers of Algol, Dampierre, and Edge Master.  All are 1920x1080 resolution and can be found HERE .

Algol was the legendary hero king who created the famed sword Soul Calibur.  Edge Master is renown as a master of all weapons and fighting styles.  Both have been revelead for Soul Calibur V, due out January 31, 2012.

I whipped this together because there are far too few All Points Bulletin: Reloaded wallpapers out there.  Enjoy!

2011 is done and over.  Now it's time to sit back and reflect on games played and whether or not I finished them.  I've modified this year's list from previous entries.  I've removed DLC content from the list.  Even if the DLC could take upwards of three hours to beat, it's not a complete game.  The rules for MMOs still stand.  to be considered beaten, I must have reached the level cap with at least one character.  Granted, all of these games may not have been released in 2011.  For an older game to qualify on this list, I must not have beaten it until some point in this year.  With that out of the way, here's the list. Beaten: 22 Xbox 360 Alan Wake Blur Call of Duty: Black Ops Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Castlevania: Lords of Shadow  Dead Space 2 Devil May Cry 4 Dorito's Crash Course Gears of War 3 Hunted: The Demon's Forge Kung Fu Panda Marvel vs Capcom 3 Mortal Kombat Prince of Persia Red Dead Redemption Rock
